Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation (TANTRANSCO) has submitted a Rs 70-crore proposal to the state government for the installation of a six-km underground extra high tension (EHT) power cable to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to Thiruvanaikoil.
The proposed underground solution will replace 19 existing towers, currently located on the Kollidam riverbed, two of which collapsed due to heavy water flow last year.
Following a recent revision, TANTRANSCO submitted a proposal to the state government last week. The project aims to ensure an uninterrupted power supply to Thiruvanaikoil.
